Cruciphobia at Mt. Soledad:
The Cross the Left Can't Bear
The historic 43-foot cross
has stood atop Mount Soledad on public land since 1954. The Mount Soledad Memorial Association erected
the monument to commemorate the sacrifice of American soldiers who died in the
Korean War, World War I and World War II. The cross has long carried meaning for the
city's residents far beyond religious symbolism. "It's a symbol of coming of age and of
remembrance," Pastor Mark Slomka of the Mount Soledad Presbyterian Church
said years ago when the case erupted. The San Diego Union-Tribune editorial
board explained that the cross is "much like the Mission San Diego de
Alcala and the cross at Presidio Park, both of which also are rooted in Christianity but
have come to signify the birth of San Diego."
